Oblivion 3rd person view mode

Post » Mon Jul 11, 2011 12:39 pm

Do not know if this is the right place to post, but just want to ask do you guys get dizzy when playing Oblivion in 3rd person mode? I got dizzy after playing in 3rd person mode but in first person mode it is perfectly fine for me. This is unlike Morrowind where I can play in 3rd person, somehow I feel the camera panning is strange in Oblivion 3rd person. Any way to change that? Or should I ask the mods sections?

Unless you want a mod that could change that, I think this section is alright. I don't know anyone who gets dizzy when playing Oblivion, and to my knowledge, I doubt there's any real way to fix something like that. Try sitting at different distances from your screen, or perhaps taking off / putting on glasses?

It's quite common to experience this according to http://xbox.about.com/od/buyersguide/a/vgmosick.htm (which also has some good remedies for alleviating the symptoms).

Performance can have another impact on this. Lower frame rates will cause a stutter and camera "sway", and playing in 3rd person adds just a bit more of a demand on your system (anywhere from 5-10 fps) since the player has to be rendered as well. The natural inclination is to focus on your character, but train yourself to look over the shoulder and more towards the horizon or a distant object, and keep the camera distance as minimal as possible.

There are mods that change the camera tracking, to make it jump around less.
